Prompt workflows for summarizing usage telemetry

When summarizing usage telemetry, the goal is typically to extract meaningful insights from raw data, making it digestible and actionable for decision-makers. Here are some prompt workflows you can use to generate summaries of usage telemetry:

1. Identify the Key Metrics

• Prompt: “Summarize the usage telemetry data focusing on key metrics like active users, session length, frequency of usage, and user retention. Provide a high-level overview with clear trends.”

2. Trend Analysis Over Time

• Prompt: “Analyze the usage telemetry data over the past month/quarter. What trends can be observed in terms of user engagement, peak activity periods, and overall usage patterns? Highlight any significant changes or anomalies.”

3. User Segmentation Insights

• Prompt: “Break down the usage telemetry by user segments (e.g., new users vs. returning users, geographic regions, device types). What insights can be drawn from each segment’s behavior? Which segments show the most engagement or growth?”

4. Feature Usage Analysis

• Prompt: “Summarize which features of the product have been used the most and least, based on telemetry data. How has usage of these features changed over time, and are there any correlations with user retention or session length?”

5. Performance Metrics and Correlation with Usage

• Prompt: “Summarize the relationship between performance metrics (e.g., response times, crash rates, load times) and user engagement from the telemetry data. How do performance issues impact user behavior, such as session abandonment or reduced usage?”

6. User Activity Heatmap

• Prompt: “Create a heatmap summary of user activity based on the telemetry data, showing the most and least active times of day or week. How does usage vary throughout the day or week?”

7. Conversion and Retention Metrics

• Prompt: “Summarize the user conversion rate from free to paid plans (or other key actions). How does this compare to user retention over a given period, and what patterns emerge?”

8. Anomaly Detection and Alerts

• Prompt: “Review the usage telemetry data for any anomalies or outliers in usage patterns, such as spikes or drops in activity. Are there any potential issues or alerts that should be addressed?”

9. Churn Prediction Insights

• Prompt: “Using the available telemetry data, summarize user behavior patterns that might indicate a higher risk of churn. Which factors are most correlated with users leaving the platform?”

10. Device and Platform Performance

• Prompt: “Summarize the telemetry data regarding the usage of different devices or platforms (e.g., mobile vs. desktop). What is the impact of each platform on user experience, session duration, or feature adoption?”

By using these workflows, you can transform raw telemetry data into actionable insights, providing a clearer picture of user behavior and system performance.
